Dick Van Dyke created the original DVD Show - an iconic TV show and then this drivel.
How much does this show fail, even for fiction entertainment? Let us count the ways...beyond Barry Van Dyke's terrible decision to dye his hair: 1. Somehow, residents & dept chief from a major hospital have time and flexibility on their hands to be amateur sleuths, go undercover and physically confront suspects. It's rare for them to see a patient - other than treating each other or family members (illegal & unethical).
2. Without the docs, police detective Sloan (Barry VD) would never close a case & be an incompetent failure.
3. Docs routinely trespass, b&e, once crime scenes, tamper w evidence - so almost every case would be thrown out.
4. Many cases end w geriatric non-law enforcement-trained doctor confronting murder suspects on his own.
5. Scott Baio as an action lead. Again, Scott Baio.
6. DVD frequently breaks the law with no repercussions.
The only redeeming element is the slate of guest stars - good combo of legends & up and coming future stars.
